L'île d'Alcatraz, en anglais Alcatraz Island, est une île située dans la baie de San Francisco à 2,4 km (1,5 mile) de la côte de San Francisco en Californie, dans l'ouest des États-Unis.
Elle fut nommée ainsi par les Espagnols car elle servait de refuge à de nombreux pélicans (alcatraces, en espagnol ancien emprunté à l'arabe al-quatras, aigle de mer). Cette île hébergea une forteresse militaire pendant plusieurs décennies (1850-1909), puis une prison militaire (1909-1933) et une prison fédérale de haute sécurité (1934-1963). Occupé par les Amérindiens de 1969 à 1971, le complexe d'Alcatraz est aujourd'hui reconverti en un site historique géré par le service des parcs nationaux des États-Unis. Il est visité chaque année par plus d'un million de touristes et demeure un lieu d'observation des oiseaux de la baie. Le phare d'Alcatraz est le plus vieux phare en activité de la côte Ouest des États-Unis et fonctionne depuis 1854. Il n'a cessé d'éclairer qu'une seule fois, en 1970, lors de l'incendie qui détruisit la maison du gardien et coupa l'alimentation électrique.
A legal caravan in Ruyigi.
Many Burundians have little to no access to legal support and often lack crucial information about their rights. The professional staff at the Cordaid-supported legal clinics in the province of Ruyigi listen to their clients, guide them and support communities by improving access to justice services. The programme also organises legal caravans to reach people in isolated areas and remote villages.
'Thanks to the clinic, my family is still standing', says Claudette Ngendakazi. 45-year-old Claudette's husband suffers from alcoholism and plunged his family into a debt crisis. Pressured by his creditors, he gave away part of the family property, without Claudette's consent.
The Ruyigi team organised a so-called 'legal caravan' in Claudette's village. The theme of the day was 'household management and the role of women, taking reference to Article 126', which states that 'no spouse may acquire for valuable consideration ownership or any other real right over real estate or holdings belonging to the conjugal community without the consent of the other'.
Claudette: 'There I learned I had a role in managing our property. Before, I believed that only the husband had the right to decide over the household.'
According to project leader Digne Ntakiyiruta, reaching out to the Burundian population and informing them about their rights, was long overdue. 'There was no information system in place', she says. 'Most communities cannot read or write and the people who can, still have a problem because the formal documents are written in French. People who approach us have various issues, but most are about legal procedures. The clinic’s lawyers support and accompany them in drafting legal documents.'
The programme also supports the population through collaborations with bar associations, Ntakiyiruta explains. 'They are partners in the project implementation and have identified a pool of lawyers who will assist people who otherwise couldn't afford a lawyer.'
Ntakiyiruta believes that the programme provides crucial assistance now, but will also yield long-term results. 'The legal clinics work with the local administration to sustain the project’s achievements. The clinics are installed on municipal premises. At the end of the project period, we are sure the municipalities and local actors will continue the activities.'
At the legal clinic in Ruyigi, Claudette received advice on a procedure that enabled her to recover her property. The team has referred her to a council that solves conflicts within the community. They also advised her on how to present her complaints. With success: the council ruled in Claudette's favour.
However, her victory was only complete after her husband attended an awareness-raising session at the legal clinic. 'At the session, he also learned about article 126. That's when our life as a couple got back on track. Without the clinic, I don't see how we could have gotten ourselves out of this situation.'
This project is funded by the European Union, through the Embassy of the Netherlands in Burundi.

I am a big fan of the All Access Ship Tour and was glad these were running again when I was on the Anthem of the Seas. Here is the description from Royal Caribbean: "Get a behind-the-scenes look at what we do to create your best vacation ever. Join your friendly guide for an exclusive narrated tour onboard your ship. Start off in the dining room, where you'll find out what our crew does to get ready for every meal, plus try to set up a table yourself. Do you know where to place the water glass or soup spoon? Walk through the main galley to see how our delicious dishes are prepared, plus take a look at the provision area to see all of the ingredients we need to have on hand. It's a lot! Then step inside the engine control room, where we monitor the systems used throughout the ship. You'll also visit the ship's vast laundry facilities. See where anything from napkins, tablecloths and sheets to beach towels and the laundry you request gets cleaned and folded. Plus, you'll have a chance to stroll the I-95, the long corridor in the crew's area, named after the longest highway on the U.S. east coast. Then visit the environmental area and learn about our waste management program. Finish with a real treat - a visit to the Bridge for a tour of the ship's command center." On board the Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas for the Seven Night Labadee & Puerto Plata Cruise (November 6th through 13th, 2022). The cruise embarks from Cape Liberty (Bayone, NJ) with stops at Labadee, Haiti and Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic before heading back to New York City. The itinerary changed after Hurricane Nicole canceled our planned stops.
